Ti-6Al-4V (L-PBF, stress relieved)

Ti-6Al-4V (titanium–6% aluminum–4% vanadium) is a two-phase alpha-beta titanium alloy manufactured via laser powder bed fusion (L-PBF) and stress-relieved to reduce residual stresses from the additive manufacturing process. This material combines the lightweight, corrosion-resistant properties of titanium with excellent strength-to-weight ratio, making it a preferred choice for aerospace, medical device, and demanding industrial applications where weight savings and durability are critical. The L-PBF processing route enables complex near-net-shape geometries and reduced material waste compared to wrought forms, though the stress-relieved condition represents an intermediate heat treatment state positioned between as-built and fully annealed material.
